[jira] Commented: (AXIS2-178) Parameter values as OMElements

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-178?page=comments#action_12320145 ] 

Eran Chinthaka commented on AXIS2-178:
--------------------------------------

Deepal, 

Just some thoughts. 

why do we need to have two methods ?
Can we have just one method, getParameterElement(). If user know that  its just text, he can : getParameterElement().getText() will do.
And if the parameter type is TEXT and if the parameter has an attribute, then user can't access it using the getValue. 
So I'd like to have just one method.

Plus, I think  the type of the parameter should ELEMENT_PARAMETER or OM_PARAMETER., not *DOM*_PARAMETER.

Yes it will , but I tried to make the simple case easier , almost wll the 
time value of the paramter will be just a text so if that is the case user 
can get the parameter value by   (String)paramter.getValue();

we are not allowd to have more attribute in current implementation only the 
"name" and "locked" valid.

*DOM*_PARAMETER.

+1 , I just used a constant in the Paramter , happy to change that
